Survival Mode in PokéBonk
Updated
TL;DR · Keep moving, charge comet shards for blessings, and take the migration portal every 11 minutes for a fresh map.
The Survival loop
- Endless hordes on open maps; your time is your score.
- Altars, Ditto, Snorlax, Magnemite, berries and rocks respawn after a few minutes.
- About every 2 minutes a comet shard lands far away — hold its circle as the horde arrives for a blessing and ₽.
- Every 11 minutes a migration portal opens for 90 s and moves you to a new map with a free Great Ball.
- Camping on ledges or standing still triggers flocks and extra pressure.
Hostile ground
| Biome | Hazard | Effect |

| Forest | Poison bramble | Damage + poison |
| Desert | Quicksand | Slows and pulls inward |
| Desert | Burning ground | Burns |
Hazards are telegraphed 2 s ahead, show on the minimap and hurt enemies too.
